P.S. Sorry if i made any mistakes in this post, but english isn't my first language - as i mentioned i'm from eastern europe I hope you will understand.

Save your self some money and find a USED Made in Mexico Strat, and get it properly set up by a tech (around $60 USD of labor). You can come out with a guitar that plays and will sound very similar to that ~$1k offering for probably under $500, if not less.

I don't mind buying Used guitar, but i i would prefer not to buy mexican strat because almost all of them have only 21 frets which is pretty big deal for me :/ also, i heard that Mexicans are made from less durable materials (correct me if i'm wrong) and i want to buy guitar that suffice me for years.

Right, if you need the 22 frets then yeah I guess you will want the American. You could also probably find those used as well and still save some money. As far as the durability, I would not worry about anything on a MIM breaking. The main thing is the setup.

Or even better, get a cheap soldering iron and some solder and fix/sort out your existing guitar, it shouldn't be too hard to do and will be a fraction of the price

+1 to this too. Cort is not exactly a high-tier brand, but with proper knowledge you can make most guitars sound and play pretty good. It is useful stuff to know, you do not have to spend a ton of money to get a good guitar. Then again, a guitar at $1000 USD will be miles away better than one at $100 of course.
